Hot Chocolate 4 ways!
It is the time for seasonal drinks. Egg nog when it is above 65 degrees out, and hot chocolate when its 65 degrees and below. WHICH HAS BEEN ALOT LATELY! How the heck is it so cold this winter? #JUSTSAYING. Here is hot chocolate in more ways than one!
Option 1: Alcoholic
Who doesn’t like a little Irish in their coffee? Or alcohol in their hot chocolate? For a great alcoholic hot chocolate, start with a fantastic hot chocolate mix (I suggest Ghirardelli or Starbucks). Add Peppermint Schnapps, Whip cream Vodka, Baileys Irish Cream, and Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. A little goes a long and drink safely! Top with whip cream, mini marshmallows, and a peppermint!
Option 2: Melts
Want a family friendly option? Make your own melts! Using circular molds make the chocolate shells. Put hot chocolate mix and mini marshmallows in the molds. Combine the molds together. Ready for the magic? Heat up some milk, and drop your hot chocolate melts in “poof”...you have hot chocolate. Make the molds in cute shapes for some fun!
Option 3: Dip
Are you a person that doesn’t need your bones warmed up? Try this warmer version: Dip. Who doesn’t like the idea of dipping some graham crackers into a hot chocolate dip? Mix hot chocolate mix with marshmallow fluff and cool whip, top with marshmallows, and eat with graham crackers. This is great for parties too!
Option 4: Candied
Or maybe you are like me and love the candies that come out this time of year, like the Hot Cocoa Hershey’s Kisses! Make some fun takes on “Hot cocoa” by making a brownie cup, attaching half a pretzel handle, topping it with marshmallow fluff and marshmallows and kisses! Final step is to eat, after having a proper “hot cocoa party” of course!
In a creative DIY world, I love all the options for enjoying hot chocolate during this cold winter season. Let me know if you try any of these and how it goes for you and your family! Warm those bones and hearts this holiday season!
